"I don't know where he was when I was trying to get health care in '93 and '94," a fired up @HillaryClinton says of Sanders.

As Clinton has discovered recently, the Internet age means instant fact checking. Whether she is talking about Bernie's record or Nancy Reagan's efforts (or lack thereof) to help those with HIV, the Internet fact checkers have their fingers poised over the keyboard ready to correct any claim.

And this time, Bernie Sanders' rapid response director Mike Casca struck gold. Because where was Bernie? He was standing right behind her in December 1993 when she gave a speech about health care reform at Dartmouth College, as seen in this C-SPAN footage.

An image of the two democratic candidates from 1993 and signed by Clinton also surfaced on Twitter. Clinton's handwritten message to Sanders, in part, reads: "thanks for your commitment to real health care access for all Americans." Ouch.

"To Bernie Sanders, with thanks for your commitment to real health care access for all Americans and best wishes"
-Hillary Rodham Clinton 1993

She personally thanks him in the video: http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4536221/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-1993
"I'm grateful congressman Sanders could join us here today"

Here is a tweet with a video of both Hillary's recent statement and the vid you are linking: https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/708776725644189697

Seems fair to say he was working on healthcare reform as well, not just standing at speeches.

[GoldenEye 007]

[joe2187]

I need this to be a new meme.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Someone please teach this woman how to use Google before she opens her mouth, because her memory is not working

 

[Forkball]

Well she doesn't have eyes on the back of her head!

These last 48 hours have made her look so bad she lost my vote.

 

[Alex Stroud]

Egg on the face for mah queen Hilldawg

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Looking forward to the response about how she misspoke, and she doesn't know where Bernie was when she was landing under sniper fire in Bosnia, but she certainly does remember him being there for Health Care.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm a Bernie fan who thought I'd still be happy with Hilary. But I'm starting to feel it less and less with Hilary....between dumb shit like this and her comment to Obama about Assad....I dunno.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

What the fuck? It has be the same speech writer as the last time.

 

[Princess Viola]

Hillary, you or your campaign staff has to start using Google.

 

[rtcn63]

Way before slim shady was in demand,
Way before we dropped baloney in Afghanistan

 

[kobu]

wow

 

[Anion]

Yeah, she really can be despicable. Lots of reasons are starting to pop up to why I would rather go Bernie. I started out with Hillary but so much bs is swaying me

These last 48 hours have made her look so bad she lost my vote.

Same actually

 

[emb]

That's amazing

 

[Mighty Chin]

Oh this is worse than the Nancy Reagan fiasco.

 

[BatDan]

Has Hillary seen a doctor lately? It sounds like she's been getting hit with memory problems that could use an examination.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Way before slim shady was in demand,
Way before we dropped baloney in Afghanistan

I wrote this a long time ago
Back in 94'

 

[Forgotten_Taco]

She really doesn't need to be this desperate. It's only going to hurt her.

 

[Marauder Shields]

I like Hillary but this is kinda hilarious.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Its like she is pro stupid shit..... or a member of the stupid shit caucus

 

[thecouncil]

damn, bernie just won with that move. ill be voting for him in november, i guess.

 

[rtcn63]

Same actually

To be fair, she's not a natural politician.

 

[Risette]

Hillary sure is full of blunders lately.

 

[CrocMother]

Why is she even bothering to attack him? Just keep your mouth shut and walk into the nomination

 

[Anastasia]

Oh, Hillary.

 

[Boke1879]

damn, bernie just won with that move. ill be voting for him in november, i guess.

You assume he'll be the nominee.

 

[Aylinato]

Is it me or all the candidates just have horrible memory?

 

[Geist-]

She seems really off her game lately...

 

[nynt9]

Why is she even bothering to attack him? Just keep your mouth shut and walk into the nomination

Maybe Michigan has her "feeling the bern" I guess? Who knows.

 

[Blader]

Young Bernie uncannily looks like current Ira Glass to me.

 

[royalan]

If Bernie Sanders was standing right behind Hillary Clinton, why does he try to position her as being against universal healthcare every chance he gets? Could it be, possibly, a dishonest attack?

That's what she meant with the line. Not that Bernie Sanders literally wasn't there.

Did you see the other image linked where she personally wrote him a thank you letter? Good pivot though, you should write her speeches.

Hmm, if that was the intention she probably should of worded it better.

No doubt it was a gaffe, right?
